What our analysis found
Locale Switcher, used by 50,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in March 2025.
Analyst notes
The extension modifies Accept-Language headers and navigator.language based on a user-selected locale, fully consistent with its 'Locale Switcher' description. All operations are local (chrome.storage, header manipulation) and no data is exfiltrated. The broad permissions are necessary for the core functionality. The ML model's own risk score is low (0.00), and the publisher is Google-trusted with a valid privacy policy. A manifest mismatch between the bundled version (MV2 with webRequest) and the CWS summary (MV3 with declarativeNetRequest) exists but does not indicate malice.
